Change notification sound in message settings

[userNItc35ZuIY]

When I go to message settings - notifications, I don't have any options to change the type of notification. All it says is, Alerts with the options of Allow sound and vibration or deliver quietly. How do I change the notification sound?

Go to SETTINGS. Then go to SOUNDS AND VIBRATION. You'll see NOTIFICATION SOUND. You can change the sound there.

I'm trying to change the text message notification sound. I don't get the option to change it. I've watched 1 million videos trying to figure it out. My messages settings screen is different from all the ones in the videos.

Go to SETTINGS, then to NOTIFICATIONS. Click on APP NOTIFICATIONS and select MESSAGES.

Click on NOTIFICATION CATEGORIES and then click on NEW MESSAGES. Do NOT click on the toggle, but click on the NEW MESSAGES.

Click on SOUND, then select your notification sound that you want for text messaging only

Hope this helps.
